Only tried one variable here.  Tried one at work which failed as
well.

SRAD> or any chance you can see a pattern for the cases it fails?

Will try more cases asap.
Tried a small file on Win2K with same results - see below

Hope it is something we are doing wrong.

BTW, is it possible to modify a variable in the gui?

It shows the old value.

That prints the old value before and after the change.

Just created a small file

---------------------------------------

aGlobal = 5

class myClass:  
  def __init__(self):
    aLocal = 5
    self.x = 6
    self.y = 4

x = myClass()

--------------------------------

Output from interactive debug probe when broken at line self.y = 4:
>>> locals()
{'aLocal': 5, 'self': <__main__.myClass instance at 0x008D3578>}
>>> aLocal = 0
>>> locals()
{'aLocal': 5, 'self': <__main__.myClass instance at 0x008D3578>}
>>> locals()['aLocal']
5
>>> locals()['aLocal'] = 0
>>> locals()
{'aLocal': 5, 'self': <__main__.myClass instance at 0x008D3578>}
>>> print aGlobal
5
>>> aGlobal = 9
>>> print aGlobal
9
>>>
